Etsy front page!

This bracelet made the front page on Etsy this morning. I missed it but managed to find a screen shot of it on Flickr. You can see the screen shot here if you are interested.

Etsy front page!

This stunning treasury by
backwoodsophisticate made the front page on Etsy yesterday. It looked slightly different than this, as at least one item sold, but I took this screen capture before it went up on the front page.

Not much new in the jewellery department as I've been working on my website. You can reach it through the links in the header on this blog. I'm still tweaking things, but I am beginning to suspect that will be a never-ending process.

Last post I was tagged by three enthusiastic members of the eSMARTs team - Tanya Ross, Robin Schiltz, and Kimberly Ries. I'm afraid that I'm not going to tag six more people, like the game requires, but I will tell you six things about me.

1. I love bright colours but most of my clothing is neutrals.
2. I've lived in the high arctic.
3. I didn't like ice cream as a child.
4. I'm allergic to cats, guinea pigs, and porcupines.
5. I love to plant things but I'm not so good at watering.
6. I wish I took better photos of my dogs and kids.

If anyone reading this wants to join the game just let me know - I'll be happy to tag you.

Front page!

Right around lunch time today this was on the front page of Etsy. I was too excited to think straight and didn't get a capture of the whole treasury - just this. By the time I went back to do it right, just a minute or so later, it was gone.

At least I got to see it.

This is turning into a pretty good month!

It's Yard Sale Season!

On a roll!

My chartreuse bracelet is in a treasury chosen by scarfitup. How exciting!

Treasuries and giveaways

I was included in a treasury on Etsy this week. It is only the second time (that I know of) that I've been in a treasury. Treasuries are a bit of a mystery to me - part game, part thrill seeking, part bragging rights, part hopes of a front page jackpot. All I know is that it is very exciting to find out that I'm in one. Thanks catrocks!


The TransCanada Etsy Team is giving away a book next Wednesday. The Boss of You: Everything a Woman Needs to Know to Start, Run and Maintain Her Own Business by Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears is a book I would really like to read, so I'm half hoping no-one reads this until after next Wednesday.

Kidding. Really. Go, enter, and good luck!
